Records of the Weakest Emperor

Chapter 70: They Are Everywhere!

The instant that the scream came out, Hugo barged into the bathroom stall.

His movements were quick and without any waste. In just a blink of an eye, he scooped up Jannette from the lap of the half-naked man and after turning her head away from the scene. He raised his leg and whipped a kick directly at the screaming madman.

Puchi!

A dull sound rang out followed by a cracking sound.

Hugo's powerful kick caused the madman's head to burst, scattering brain matter and blood all over the bathroom stall.

Calvin exited out of his stall and quickly took a towel to cover the naked body of the scarred Jannette.

Even now, she was still trembling in fear.

"Jane, Zahra! We found Jannette! Take her!"

Calvin walked out and dragged Jannette out of the bathroom.

He dragged her for Calvin realized that Jannette couldn't walk. Her legs were trembling so much that it looked as if she would collapse onto the ground at any moment.

"Shit..."

Calvin muttered under his breath.

"I hope she can still recover after this ordeal. If not, then I can only say my condolences."

The world of Las Felipinas was incredibly cruel to anyone. Violence was the norm there, so one must have a strong heart before venturing out to Las Felipinas. Else, going to Las Felipinas without a prepared heart and a steeled resolve was basically the same as committing suicide.

That was how dangerous Las Felipinas was.

"Ah! Jannette! What happened to you?" Jane approached Jannette.

Calvin handed her over to Jane, but as soon as Jannette left Calvin's support. She collapsed onto the ground and if not for Zahra's quick reactions, she would've had a concussion since she was so weak that she couldn't even protect her head from impact onto the ground.

Zahra checked her vitals and discovered that she was in deep shock. A frown appeared on her face when she realized that Jannette was naked. Apart from the towel covering her body, she had nothing to cover her bits and grits.

Noticing that Calvin was still staring at Jannette despite the fact that she was in her birthday suit. Zahra frowned and asked, "Why are you still staring? She's naked!"

"Oh..." Calvin let out an astonished yelp before turning his gaze away.

It was indeed inappropriate for him to stare at the naked body of a maiden.

Calvin knew about this, but he forgot about it since he already had a fair share of naked bodies back in Las Felipinas.

Jane glanced at Calvin and realized that the slender-frame Calvin seemed to be even more mysterious than ever. To think that he wasn't bothered and even blush at the sight of a maiden's birthday suit!

Jane was intrigued but she also knew that there were matters far important at this moment than Calvin's outlook regarding beauties.

"What the hell happened?" Zahra asked.

Jane nodded in agreement.

She had the same question as Zahra.

She wanted to know just what exactly happened that a courageous woman like Jannette became like this.

Calvin bitterly smiled.

It wasn't convenient for him to talk regarding what happened to Jane and Zahra.

After all, the three of them could be considered friends.

He reckoned that even Jannette herself didn't want them to know that she was almost violated by a mad patient of this asylum. If they came to know about it, Jannette would surely spiral into depression.

"I can't disclose that. I'm sorry..." Calvin shook his head and avoided the topic.

Jane and Zahra stared at each other.

They weren't as dense as Calvin expected to be.

They were smart women who could extrapolate information from missing data. The fact that Jannette was buck-naked with purple bruises all over her body, particularly on her breasts and neck. What happened was painfully obvious.

Furthermore, there was also that maniacal scream from a third-party that they heard from the bathroom.

Jane and Zahra clenched their tiny fists.

Calvin saw the sorrow on their expression and he let out a sigh.

The two women stared at each other for a moment before nodding.

Afterwards, they then directed their gazes to Calvin.

From their gazes alone, Calvin could see what they wanted to happen.

In short, both Jane and Zahra hoped that Calvin would pretend that nothing happened.

Calvin nodded his head in tacit understanding.

But there was an issue that he had to raise.

"Now we have two unconscious comrades. Our journey will become even more difficult since we have two comrades that we have to look out for. I can almost manage everything with Scarlette, but with Jannette added on top of it. I don't think that we can continue on our journey..." Calvin shook his head in sorrow.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that we should abandon both of them?" Jane glared at Calvin.

"No, no, no! You're misunderstanding me." Calvin hurriedly flailed his hands in protest, "That is not what I mean. What I am trying to say is that we should choose who among the two we should wake up. To be honest, I prefer if we woke up Scarlette than Janette."

"Ah, so that's what you meant?" Zahra nodded her head, "I know some acupuncture techniques that we can use to wake them up prematurely. But why choose Scarlette? Could it be that you're being biased against Jannette?"

"Oh, please... Why would I? On what basis? I'm just saying that Scarlette is a better choice. Look at her condition! She's just in shock and is barely injured. If we choose to wake up Jannette, then she wouldn't be that useful. After all, she suffered that much. What's more, I think she deserves to rest at least." Calvin explained.

"That makes sense." Zahra and Jane were finally convinced.

"I'm done..." At this moment, Hugo walked out of the bathroom stall.

He was wet.

His clothes were wet as well as his shoes.

Hugo probably took quite a long time in the bathroom for he was scrubbing himself clean.

As for why he was doing that?

Zahra who was a medical student instantly noticed the smell of blood floating around Hugo.

The smell of blood was so thick and fresh that Zahra's expression immediately went pale upon realizing the meaning behind Hugo's words.

She covered her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to stop herself from dry heaving.

"What's wrong with you, Zahra? Are you okay?" Jane instantly noticed her pale expression and asked in concern.

"No, it's nothing... We gotta move. I've got to wake Scarlette up."

Zahra shoved Jane aside and sat beside the unconscious Scarlette.

She lifted her trembling hands and pressed a few acupoints on Scarlett's body.

Within a few seconds, Scarlette let out a few pained groans before finally opening her eyes.

The first scene that she saw was Zahra staring at her in concern.

"Z-Zahra! You... What happened?"

"You passed out! I had to wake you up, so we can continue our journey to find the others." Zahra replied.

"Find the others? Wait... Just what happened? The last thing I remember was looking at..."

"Ah!"

"I remember!"

"I was looking at a slightly opened door, but when I peered through that door to stare into the sickroom behind it..."

"I found something!"

"The room was full of ghosts! Demons!"

Scarlette's eyes went bloodshot as she trembled like a sieve in fear.

Hugo's face went ashen upon hearing her words.

Calvin clicked his tongue and arrived in front of her to calm her down.

"It's all right, we're here... You're safe now..."

He tried shaking Scarlett's shoulders so she could calm down, but when Calvin realized that it wasn't working.

He pulled her into his embrace and patted her back like a child.

"Wuwuwu... I'm so scared... There's a lot of them in that room... Demons, ghosts... There's a lot of them! And I also noticed... I also noticed that every sickroom was full of ghosts! They are everywhere! They are everywhere! There is no escape... Wuwuwu... I don't want to die..." Scarlette's embrace around Calvin's waist tightened.

"It's all right... Nothing will happen... We will escape this place... Also, there are no demons in this place! We found that the patients of the asylum are pretending to be ghosts to scare us in this hospital!" Calvin said with his eyes radiating no lies, only sincerity.

"Really?"

"Yeah! In fact, we have Hugo here and he's able to beat all of those patients up if they dare to come to us!" Calvin turned to look at Scarlett and Scarlett also followed his gaze. Upon seeing Hugo's towering mountain-like figure, Scarlett dramatically calmed down.

Calvin wiped the snot off her nose with his shirt and gave her another tight embrace.

"That is why you don't have to worry, all right? We'll be fine, you'll be fine. Everyone will be fine! With Hugo here, no one in this place can touch us!" Calvin raised his head and pushed his chest outwards, exuding a valiant aura as he proudly declared.

The crying Scarlette found it amusing and she couldn't help but lampoon, "Where is your part?"

"Ah... Of course! With me and Hugo here, no one in this place can touch even a thread of our hair!"

Calvin revised his speech, eliciting laughter from not only Scarlette but also from the other women.

Hugo shook his head and let out a silly smile.

The group took a rest for a few minutes first before they continued on their journey towards the Medical Ward.

When they continued, little did they knew that Calvin now had a grim look on his face.

The reason was Dandelion's report that he heard while he had Scarlett in his embrace.

[Calvin! The Benevolent Father and the Butcher are heading towards the Hospital! You need to escape as fast as possible! It's pretty much impossible for you to fight against those two, and I can't also give you any help since they are protected by Fivecent! If I helped you, then they will detect my unique mana signature!]

[If that happens, then they will definitely thwart our plans!]

[Good luck now!]

[You're on your own!]

[Adieu!]

Dandelion then went silent and never responded again.

Of course, Calvin could still feel his presence.

Dandelion only went into hibernation to extinguish his presence as much as possible and escape Fivecent's detection.

Calvin gnashed his teeth.

"That fucking bastard who's toying with us all here... I'm sure you're happy now, eh? Pretty amusing to see us being chased by two madmen? Rest assured, once I'm out of here and strong enough. I'll find you, you fucking bastard and I'll have you meet your creator!"

Calvin inwardly swore.
